Talking to Riehl and also reading some of the comments, I came to an agreement that it is true is a bit "overqualified" for a Gunboat. Riehl and I decided to give it another approach as a Salvager type Transport, just like the Salvager in-game. Arms, mini hangar, and a docked boom arm. With this, it sacrifices one turret slot. Keeping its oversized engines, the Central Cylinder, can't miss it, will act as cargo storage instead of a reactor.
"But spheres and Cylinders are meant for gas products." Not true. There are spheres and cylindrical shaped storages in the Sci-Fi universe. In Example, the Lucrehulk, Star Wars Trade Federation Battleship.
Anyways, here are the results. It is subject to change.
